WR Joey Galloway on what Tom Brady told him about his shoulder after the 27-24 win over the 'Skins: I'm "OK"

Ian Rapoport Saturday, August 29, 2009

FedEx Field is empty except for us media peeps, and it's getting real late. But here's what you might know already: The Patriots defeated the Redskins 27-24 a few hours ago in a game that featured an offense that looked as good as possible early on.

It ended with Stephen Gostkowski's 31-yard field goal (right). But before that, Tom Brady was 12 of 19 for 150 yards with two TDs to Randy Moss... all before that hit.

You know, when Albert Haynesworth drilled Brady's shoulder late in the second half, putting his status up in the air.

So what happened to Brady?

Coach Bill Belichick didn't say much, as you'd expect... "He has some bumps and bruises like everybody else that played in the game," he said. Asked about Brady's status, Belichick later added, "We haven't talked about the final exhibition game and how we'll handle the rotation."

But we have some clues...

Receiver Joey Galloway was telling me about the offense and some other stuff in the game when I asked him about Brady. Galloway said he didn't know Brady went down until far after it happened. But he said he ran into Brady later in the game.

"I said (to Brady), 'How are you doing?' " Galloway told me. "He said, 'OK.' And that was it."
